Take a trip through the Big Bang __ "As far as we can tell, the expansion of
the Universe started many billions of years ago from a very hot, very small
state. From that hot, small state, it mushroomed and evolved into the Universe
we know today. a distant galaxy Cosmologists call that process of expansion the
Big Bang because at some phases, especially in the beginning, the process was
rather like an explosion." Learn more. - illustrated - From superstringtheory.com -
